from everything i've read, you should be fine with 2.5" the general consensus is if you are pushing over 300hp go 3" but with a 2.8 you're good to go.

If you are pushing 300hp then yes you should get the 3".

well im a student and the 2.8 with bolt-ons is enuff for me as a DD and im pretty much going to be done with the car add power wise after that so i just want a good solid build. ofcourse if my clutch goes and what not i will change it and i will prob get rotated mounts.

It just seems if your adding meth.. dropping the pulley size down isnt gonna be any different than adding meth... Which in itself is a completely different story.
